A federal jury in Atlanta convicted Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, a 23-year-old Georgia man of conspiring with his previously convicted friend, Syed Haris Ahmed, of giving material support to terrorists by sending videos of Washington, D.C. landmarks like the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol, World Bank, and fuel storage tanks to supporters of ‘violent jihad’ and terrorist activities overseas.

According to the indictment and evidence presented at trial, Sadequee and Ahmed traveled to Toronto, Canada in March 2005 to meet with, and discuss carrying out terrorist acts in the United States, and traveling to Pakistan to receive terror training.

Sadequee chose to defend himself on a pro se basis at trial.
